Happy Halloween Swiss Style

I wish you a Happy Halloween with scherenschnitte, a wonderful traditional Swiss craft from the German part of Switzerland. My little boy and I designed this one, but if you want to see some scherenschnitte by an accomplished comtemporary paper cutter, look at this blog site... http://papercutting.blogspot.com/ For traditional scherenschnitte by a contemporary artist, see http://main.nc.us/openstudio/MHGrabman/
